In late July, comedian Marc Maron opened his podcast by praising Nashville for several absorbing minutes. He’d just returned from performing at Zanies again, a trip that also saw him visit United Record Pressing, Third Man and Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, and one that finally cemented his fondness for the place. Nashville is “one of the great American cities,” he said, and we couldn’t agree more. Welcome to the club, Marc.
